SOP Maker vs Tango

SOP Maker is a web tool for creating, numbering, authorising, and printing controlled Standard Operating Procedures. It is designed for teams that need documented, auditable procedures, including food sites working with BRCGS and HACCP audits. Each SOP can record preparer and authoriser details, revision numbers, dates, and Draft, Review, or Approved status. Finished procedures print as A4 PDFs with page footers and steps kept together across page breaks. The structured editor includes 158 icons for PPE, cleaning tools, controls, and chemical classes. Content stays in the browser and, when connected, can also be stored in a selected computer or shared-drive folder. The maker says user content is not sent to a server and receives no AI or external network calls. The free plan costs nothing, has no sign-up or usage limit, and permits commercial work. Desktop Chrome or Edge is required for authoring; the downloadable and hosted versions support offline use after loading.

Tango captures work processes and turns them into step-by-step walkthroughs and browser agents. Its browser extension records steps on websites and browser applications without code or flow builders. Walkthroughs can be shared by link, embedded in a website or knowledge base, copied as HTML, or exported as PDF. Guide Me displays step-by-step instructions and highlights where to click. The browser agent interacts with SaaS applications through their front-end interfaces using a Chrome or Edge extension, without API connections or bespoke integrations; Tango names HubSpot and Salesforce as supported examples. The service is cloud-based and does not offer on-premises deployment. Tango says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and that its AI providers may not retain or use customer data for model training or fine-tuning. Secure Blur and Live Blur help limit sensitive data collection, and editors can permanently redact details in images. A free plan includes five shared workflows and up to 10 users per workspace. Paid plans start at $15/user/mo (annual).
